Songs in Commercials

[nothingman00]

Is somebody doesn't get Bishop Allen out of that fucking Sony commercial, there's going to be some major fucking drama... At the very least, they could refrain from playing it every 5 minutes during NFL games.

[canexplain]

they are using the tic tic tic song by the hives in the promo for jerico .. canx****

[pewter14]

I've never seen that commercial with stellastarr* ... that was great ...

Kings of Leon anyone? Both from their first ablum (yet, relatively new commercials) ....

I heard Goose's "Bring It On" in a Mitsubishi commercial 4 times in less than an hour

It always bothered that they used The Postal Service for a UPS ad, shouldn't they use them in a USPS commercial?

I think there is a couple more commercials but I can't find them.

Lemon Jelly's "Space Walk" is used in, of all things, a commercial for cat food. (I think Whiskas.)

[alex97]

I get calls once in a while from friends about this fantastic commercial with awesome song (Space Dementia - sang by my most favorite band) made by a great director (also a top fave of mine) with a super gorgeous actress (Whew!) in it. "Is that Muse?! It's in one of the CDs you gave to me, right?"

i remember when i first saw this.. i never thought i'd hear a song off OOS in a commercial..

at least not this one.

one of muse's greatest songs.. i love Matt's voice!

and Eva Green is really sexy.

levi's was responsible for many top five hits in the uk in the 90s. including one atrociously long (six weeks? seven?) run at number one for spaceman. I'll post the few that I can remember here.

Forget what it was an ad for, but I remember thinking Air's "Surfing on a Rocket" was used very well in a commercial a while back.
